Pressure-induced hydration of the clay mineral nacrite, Al2Si2O5(OH)4 is, in contrast to its polymorph kaolinite, partially irreversible. Here, at ambient conditions after pressure release, a majority phase with composition Al2Si2O5(OH)4·2H2O with an intense (002) diffraction peak near d ~ 8.4 Å has been found. Both in situ X-ray diffraction and simulations based on the density functional theory point to intercalation of molecules in nominally nonswelling clays and specific geophysical and geochemical conditions.
